Everyone suggesting a level of disrespect was shown calm down a wee bit. They're friends and family who have come to see their children, brothers husbands etc pass out as RM's. Don't forget that it's the first time they have seen them in this way. When I went to see my brother's passing out parade we laughed, not out of disrespect , but out of sheer astonishment for what these men were and what they are now. They aren't showing disrespect in the slightest.
This has to be one of the smartest and best if not the best pass out parades for any unit of any service that I have seen. I passed out into the RAF Regiment in 2004 and this is way better than what we did. Makes me want to join the Marines now! If only they had a reserve unit in N.Ireland!
Congratulations on your hard work. I'm impressed with precision & fluidity that you & your troop performed the drill. It's speaks highly of all the Royal Marine Commando is based on. I know that required much pride &sacrifice to execute the with a high level of professioalism. I'm an American while I like both the U.S. & I'm more impressed with the sacrifice & traditionalist of the Royal Marine Commando over that of the U.S.Marine Corp.
Mark Vehar wait a minute... I've TRAINED with both... both have good and bad! But, as good as these guys are, you can't compare them to the USMC Silent Drill Team... you'll notice that there are verbal commands being issued... My Silent Drill Team would've done this in complete SILENCE! The only sounds you'd hear, is the sounds of hands slapping against metal and wood... that's the huge difference!
Aaron Freeman this isn’t a silent drill team that’s why. It’s just a passing out parade for the families to see the soldiers perform after recruit training.
A good passing out parade lads! If you and the USMC Silent Drill Team keep practising, one day you may aspire to the same echelon as the Queens Colour Squadron of the Royal Air Force Regiment Continuity Arms Drill Team, who really are the best in the World!!
If you're gonna laugh at this, do remember that the men you see in this video have been trained into some of the finest killing machines on the planet.
@@CS-qn7wm the US marines didn't go through as much basic training as these guys. These marines have just come out of basic. This is their graduation parade
@@CS-qn7wm stop trying to big up usa, the royal marines go through way more training this is only the beginning, they go through 32 weeks of training then move on to more advanced training which cary's on through their careers
Secret is to have a couple of the guys, that would sound out the timing, just loud enough for your Oppo's to hear, but not so loud that the crowd hear it. Kings Squad 259 trp 1979. Stay safe, my Merry Band of Brothers.
+Fred B. I was the Drill Instructor (DL) for this Kings Squad, that's my voice giving the commands. Every single movement of the display is in the Queens Regulation BR for Drill. I only got told about this clip yesterday as I wasn't aware it was online. This is the basic drill every RM recruit learns. The way it has been presented is for the benefit of the parents and friends of the young Commandos on the Parade. Glad you enjoyed it - the Kings Squad have only 1 week to learn all the routine from scratch. This troop was decent enough to do more complex moves albeit with a couple of mistakes as would be expected when in front of loved ones. Thanks again
Good effort, only a few errors, but that's to be expected after only a week or so of Kings Squad. The broken Nod on crutches should have done the centre dressing crutch and all.....that would be worth seeing. Not quite as good as the Kings Squads I took through, but close. LOL.
Tis good but the reason I like the US Marine Silent Drill Platoon better is because they actually drill with the rifle and don't just march through each other.
yeah, i'm not certain, but i'm an RM cadet and i wasn't allowed to do a parade because i had done my ancle in, so i think thats it, on the 30miler probably
sounds like "the gael" by dougie maclean, but with a few differences? like the trumpets i think, but the gael was the theme tune for the film "last of the mohicans"
When the three fellas marched on with the rest of the squad at the 9 minute mark, I can tell that one obviously couldnt do it because he was on crutches, but what was wrong with the other two?
it would have been that or the practice the week before, they wouldnt have been allowed to do any further tests if they had injured themselves on one of the other commando test
I thought this was a "Silent Drill" display, did I hear a few times what sounded like 'Parade Orders' being called out ... or was that someone heckling???.
The Royal Marines do not do silent drill. Silent drill is not difficult it is choreographed like a dance is. The Band Service do complex silent drills in their displays. The RAF silent drill squad are formed by recruits at the end of their initial six weeks training. All moves are learnt during basic square bashing, they are then sequenced. With a metronome in your head and counting the silent drill is performed. It looks impressive but it is not difficult. Ex 40 Cdo RM.
Sadly it's no more, part of the Sodexo catering contact prevented any other food outlets on camp. He moved to the car park for a while then Dutchy died (which era you are defines who you think of as Dutchy as it has been Grandfather, Son, Grandson over the past 40yrs or so)!
Try and put these guys up with the US Army's Old Guard Drill Team or the US Marine's Drill team?I would like to see these guys spin Lee Enfield SMLEs.It can be done.The Danish,Germans,and Russians put spectacular dispalys.The Russians used SKSs which is difficult compared to M1 Garands,K98K Mausers,M14s,and M1903s.
+reddevilparatrooper so you would put a recruit troop up against cherry picked nco's that the US drill teams use...laughable idea there, though the US teams marching looks an awful lot like strolling
So.....You had to Yankee Doodle, Americanize, good old Brit drill?....You should be ashamed of yourselves......The Brits, Canucks, and the Commonwealth don't need any lessons from the lazy Yanks lads....You should of left it alone and stuck to the QR&O's......
Whilst admittedly '''Not''' to the standard of Q.C.S. or the thumbprints ( Guards) you , nevertheless did an ally job given the time you had ''on the square'' with your baby cabbage lids. Good effort!!!

Garry Leask really? Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This US Marine thinks these guys are sharp as nails. (Bravo Zulu)
Very Proud to see this...i remember these days as if it were yesterday....my Troop did our Passing Out infront of Lady Di...was an awesome moment. :)

They are almost as tough as the men in the United States Marine's silent drill team.

I love the royal marines they are proud men
Thank you for sharing your very smart pass out! Hope someone got a grip of the two who were taking the piss at the beginning of the video.

upper cut , 259 Troop, passed our on 13th June 1980, proudest day of my life. The day after my 17th Birthday, proud to wear the beret.
they're called 'hiss and sid' buddy
attending 153's pass out on Friday, can't explain how excited I am!
train full of new recruits coming in at 7:12 on the right past the trees aha
If only that were true, this is a Fri and new recruits arrive on Sun/Mon (depending how far they're travelling from).
amazing drill and a good camera man/women.
Superb fellas!
Why someone would laugh I know not why. Brilliant as one who has carried out knows.
Jesus Christ that was good. Makes me want to be a bleddy bootie. Almost makes me want to retract my application to the army. Almost.
You Yankeed the drill but it was very well done......Tight and right!.....Driving of the bod!....Cheers from Canada lads.....

someone please tell me the song the band played
I like the RayMan Hands :D
USMC Silent Drill Platoon, best of the best
Best in the world no contest
it's really nice... it looks so cool...
Not the Silent Drill as detailed at Earls Court with Taff Morgan as RSM.

That looks bloody hard to pull of but bet its easier than it looks

@IANCARRUTHERS i remember, hyper extended his knee on the tarzan? i saw it. Has he passed out now?
How no-one mentioned that the band is playing 'The Last of the Mohicans Theme'?
Arh brings back memories 735 trp
amazingly beautiful
so looking forward to my selection now!!!!!! how much was there to remember for this routine???
it would have been that or the practice the week before, they wouldnt have been allowed to do any further tests if they had injured themselves on one of the other commando test
Well Done Indeed!
Then they finish their drill to the beat of the music.
This is not silent, someone is giving orders.
I love it I am in the marines cadet
Same question as Mrmattymcg here, but anyone in the band service, what's the name of the tune played during the arms drill?
I'm surprised that there wasn't a random sailor running around.
ahhh fair enough, i justcouldnt see them limping so I wasnt sure
someone help me out? at 2:34 is that called a spin-wheel?
Oh here's commando dan the nod that didn't passout commenting
whats with fours legs?
138 Troop!!
I've never understood why military drills are so funny to some people... Like uh er how?
You wouldn't find it funny if a royal marine stuck his fairbain Sykes in you face show some respect you piece of shit

1:16 I didn't see any shell casings ejected onto the parade square?🤔🤔
James Le Commando likely have the gas plug turned to off so the gas system wouldn't eject the empty shell

That's true. Why were people chuckling at this?

Sorry. This ain't no USMC silent drill team
miamiapachi74 ya your right they’re recruits who’ve just finished training and just became Royal Marines and had a week to train for these drills.
Awesome. I find it pathetic though that people can’t shut up and watch.
What's so funny? Stop laughing
what song is the band playing?
last of the Mohican
Sorry understood now
Why do people have to laugh at anything that a) makes them feel uncomfortable, b)that they do not understand.
Bad boy royal marines :)
They don't even come close the USMC Silent Drill Platoon. Why all they laughing in the crowd? Silence means no talking. Just watch and listen.
That's because they are recruits.. not a drill team
Fantastic shame about that woman taking nonstop
is your son Adam F?
Cos that was pretty bad lol, hello btw
Shame about the mumbling in the back ground, very un-British. Well done boys, bloody good show.
Cookie
they probably just had sprained ancles or something, so if they did they whole thing it would damage their legs...
I heard commands that means they aren't a truly a silent drill team. The United States Marine Corps silent drill team is much better.
Well of they are better. The usmc silent drill team literally practise for weeks or even months to become perfect. This is just a pass out parade.
This isn't a Silent Drill display. The title is misleading.
This isn’t a silent drill display is a rm pass out parade from basic training. They only had a week to learn this
So.....You had to Yankee Doodle, Americanize, good old Brit drill?....You should be ashamed of yourselves......The Brits, Canucks, and the Commonwealth don't need any lessons from the lazy Yanks lads....You should of left it alone and stuck to the QR&O's......

when was this drill British.... the USMC are the only ones that ever do it........... Salty is what you are
M recruit squad(736) did a silent drill display for Chatham Navy Days 1960,and on grass.
There are no orders given during the weapons drill at the beginning and during the music.
